Blade balancing (fig. Q)
Check balance of the blade (11) by placing centre hole in
the blade over a nail or round shank screwdriver, clamped
horizontally in a vice. If either end of the blade rotates
downward, file along the sharp edge of that dropping end.
Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
Lubrication
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have
plastic bearing surfaces which require no lubrication.
Cleaning
Turn the mower off and let the blade come to a stop. Use only
mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any
clippings which may have accumulated on the underside of
the deck. After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for
tightness.
Preventing corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals.
If you mow in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been
used, the mower should be cleaned immediately afterward as
follows:
Turn the mower off and unplug mower. Wipe all exposed parts
with a damp cloth.
